The worst book you've ever read.
I wasn’t sure what to put until I read stella_auri‘s entry. Where the Red Fern Grows was a horrible book.
A book you dislike that lots of other people you know like.
I feel like I should duck and hide when I reveal this: The Hobbit.
The most difficult book you've ever read.
I think I might have blocked it from my memory. :)
